Good Luck in Arabic

Today, I had learned from Maha how to say "good luck" in Arabic.

There are 3 ways to say good luck. However they are a direct translation of the English Language as different language may have a slightly different ways to say a similar things.

These are the different ways: 1. hath sa'eed - directly translated as "happy" luck. Hath means luck and sa'eed is happy. The wordings seem to be said in reversed ways. 2. bi nnajah - consists of two words. Bi meaning with and najjah means success. When these two words are joined together, the word "bi" is transformed to become "bin". A reader of Quran will understand this format under the topic of "idram" 3. The third way is to say "bi tawfeek"

This video tells you how to say ... "I dont want".

Based on the earlier video, when you learn how to say I Dont Know.
-- anna  LA A' REF = I DONT KNOW

The basic sentence structure remains the same. Instead of KNow, it is replaced with Want.

--UREED

So it becomes ... Anna La Ureed.

Learn Arabic with Maha Lesson 15

Learn Arabic from Maha Lesson 14

Learning Arabic can be taxing.

The structure is very different from what we are familiar in English.

One of the new thing that I had learned, the Arabic sentences can start with either nouns, verb or even haraf.

For example, the word "fi" translated as "in" in most circumstances, can be at the beginning or middle of a sentence.

example 1: the pen is in my hand.

alqalam fi yadee

The Arab will merge 'the pen' into a word alqalam.
my hand is merge into yadee.

example 2: In this case the word 'fi' is put to the beginning of the sentence.
- fi alghurfa kursee
laterally translated as in the room chair.

You notice arabic language seem to be complex. It is like compressing the sentence to lesser words.

Learning Arabic can be interesting especially when you have a beautiful teacher like Maha.

I = Ana in Arabic

Dont know - can be a bit tricky.

Dont is a verb in English. This is because in a sentence you have to have a verb.

Dont -- translated to La, it is the negative form of a verb. You put the"la" in front of a verb to signify that it is negative

know = a'ref

This is a form of present tense which will change according to whom it is intended to be.

a' ref = i know

ta' ref = you know

la ta' ref = you do not know

LA A' REF = I DONT KNOW
